David's POV:
"Hey David, where are you going? Are you shifting somewhere else?" asked Ryan.
"Yes, Granny and Grandpa want us to shift in an enormous mansion. I don't know the exact place, this is the first time I'll visit that home." I responded.
"If you don't know the place, why are you going?" Ryan inquired curiously.
"It's just Grandpa got a good dealer who will sell a gigantic mansion at a cheap price to us, also we were looking for an enormous home, so this is it. Grandpa sold our old house and bought that new one with same price and now are shifting there." I explained to him.
"Oh, okay Bro I'll miss you. Take care of yourself and family, also say your brother hello and if you need anything, call me." Ryan answered.
I continued by adding, "Yes sure I will, you too take care of yourself and your family. Also, I'll surely come and meet you whenever I get time."
"David, where are you, child? Our car is ready to go, come in." Granny shouted.
"Yes Granny, coming." I answered back to Granny and went in the car, I waved Ryan my last bye, which I never thought will be the last.
"Granny, where we are going? And why?" my younger brother inquired.
"You will know where we are going soon and I'm sure you will like it. All about why are we going? I think your brother didn't tell you, we got an enormous mansion at a good price and we are shifting there." Granny replied with a smile.
To this reply of Granny I added in a teasing way, " How will he know? He is always in his little virtual world."
"Come on, you know how much I love to play video games brother." Alex expressed with an annoyed face.
"Okay, don't get annoyed, but you are really missing the beautiful scenario outside the running car." I repeated with a grin on my face.
"You brothers continue your talks later, let's play some classical music now. What you think?", Granny called for us.
"I don't have any issue, Granny, and I don't think Alex would have either. He is busy in his video game world." saying this both of us giggled.
Now everyone got quiet. Granny and Grandpa were listening to classical music, my brother Alex was playing his video games, and I was enjoying the scenarios. While looking at this beautiful scenario, I don't remember exactly when I felt asleep in the running car. After sometime I was awakened by a sudden jerk which made my body move in forward direction due to inertia of motion. I looked outside the window and saw a vast mansion. I realized that we reached our destination, and we all got out of the car.
"I told you it's an enormous mansion." Grandpa spoke, smiling.
"Yes, Grandpa it is! At least now I won't have to share my room with David." Alex answered with a smirk on his face.
"Wait a minute, you were the one with whom I had to share my room after you were born." I defended Alex.
"Enough of you boys, don't start here now. Let's go inside, but first help Grandpa to take the luggage inside." Granny ordered us.
"Granny since David is older than me, then why doesn't he help Grandpa to carry the luggage inside." Alex responded.
"But what's the logic? Hey you little devil wait!" before I could say anything else Alex went inside the house.
"Granny, don't worry, I'll help Grandpa, you go inside and find a room for yourself." mentioning this, I started taking the bags inside. Granny went inside while grandpa and I took all the luggage inside the house. But when I was picking the remaining bags from the car, I felt as if someone was looking at me. When I checked everywhere, there was no one, so I took all the remaining bags and went inside the house.
"Thank you, child. Alex had taken his bags in his selected room and Grandpa took some of our bags in our room. Can you keep the remaining one's in my room?" Granny requested me with a soft voice.
"Yes Granny, just tell me where I should keep them?" I called to which granny described, "Go to the left, there you will see our kitchen. Next to that is our room, you can keep it there."
"Okay Granny." I replied and went to granny's room.
While I was walking towards the room, I saw our lovely kitchen, which had beautiful cream coloured tiles with some red rose design on it. There were Kitchen shelf racks on top attached to the wall which had a glass opening, so all the utensils inside were visible. The kitchen had a gorgeous Grey Night Marble counter. They made the floor of White Marble all over the house.
I reached Granny's room. So I opened the door and went through it. As I went inside, I saw the magnificent furnitures which was made of wood. Looking at the design, it reminded me of 90s furnitures, giving me a hint that it might have been designed a long time ago. I kept the bags near the table, which was next to the cupboard a little away from the bed. I was very exhausted, so I left to find myself a room. There were almost four rooms and a hall and kitchen, while our old house only had in total two rooms, hall and kitchen.
Also, there was a staircase which was made of wood. I loved it, but not how it makes a sound while topping on it. The stairs guided me towards 3 rooms. One of the room was just in front of the staircase. I went ahead, opened the door and went through it; the room had the 90s vibes and was the biggest room from all other rooms. Before I could see anything else, I heard a voice.
"Hey brother, I have selected this room so don't even think of shifting here." Alex stated.
"Okay, don't worry, I will shift in another room." I retorted and just when I was about to leave Alex stopped me and while laying on bed he insisted, "Please close the door while leaving I'm too tired to even get up."
"Room is yours, so close it by yourself." I responded while giving a wink and left the room.
I took my luggage and went to other room, which was on the left side from my brother's room. I opened the room and went into it. It was not as big as Alex's room, but wasn't bad either. They have already cleaned the room before we reached. The bedsheet was black and white with few designs on it. I saw a cupboard near my bed and kept all the clothes in it.
There were two windows in my room. One was facing the roadside and other was facing towards the other house. I had a long day, so I stretched myself and with a loud yawn I jumped to my new comfy bed without even claiming my roaring belly....uhhhh..what a day it was I said to myself. I had to prepare for my new high school, so I slept early to wake up early. But few hours later I was disturbed from my beautiful dream by a mysterious sound.
What do you think where the voice would have come from?
